1918 Golden Sunbeam for Gentlemen

Two-speed Epicyclic Gear

22″ Frame (the rarest frame size)

28″ Wheels

Original Unrestored Paintwork

Ready to Ride 

All Sunbeams are an absolute pleasure to ride. That’s why they have been the most popular upmarket bicycle in British history. They were sought-after in 1918 when this machine was manufactured …and are still just as sought-after now, 94 years later.

This particular machine is the rarest frame size – 22″. As you can see in the Sunbeam catalogue page further down the page, the company states that it is suitable for riders of height 5′ 3″ …though i do not agree with their calculations; I think riders of that height had such a limited choice in 1918 that this may well have been their best option, but this would still have been a tall frame for them.
